Sort fields
Sorting in views
Sorting can be saved as part of a view. For more information on creating and using views, check out our page on Database views.
Databases aren’t available in the Atlassian Government environment.
You can sort your database so that items show in order based on a selected field. Items can appear in ascending or descending order.
Add a sort
To create a sort:
Select Sort at the top of your database or the Sort option while editing a view.
Select the + Add sort button.
Select the field that you'd like to sort by from the list of unsorted fields in the database.
Select the sort criteria (ascending or descending).
Different fields are sorted by different logic, depending on their value type.
To edit a sort:
Select the sort criteria dropdown.
Select the updated desired sort.
Alternatively, sorts can be edited by selecting the arrows for sorted fields in the field header, changing between ascending and descending.
To delete a sort:

Select the Delete sort option.
To reorder a sort:
All entries are sorted based on the criteria of the sorts and the order they are listed.
Select More actions on an existing sort.
Select the reordering option relevant to your desired order.
